Starting at one long side, cut each tenderlin lengthwise almost in half, stopping aout 1/2 inch from opposite long side. Open tenderloins like books. Sprinkle cut sides with salt and pepper. Pack half of stuffing on one side of each tenderloin. Fold plain side over stuffing.

Slightly overlap half of bacon slices on a sheet of parchment paper, forming rectangle equal in length to one tenderlooin. PLace tenderlin at one edge, across bacon ends. Using parchment as an aid, roll up tenderloin in bacon. Using kitchen string, secure bacon around tenderloin, tying at 1 1/2-inch intervals, then tie onces lengthwise. Repeat with remaining bacon and tenderloin. (Can be prepared one day ahead. Wrap tenerloins and refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature one hour before continuing.)

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Pour enough oil into large skillet to coat bottom; heat over high heat. Add one tenderloin. Saute until bacon is borwn, turning often, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with second tenderloin. Rost until thermometer inserted into center of each registers 130ºF to 135ºF for medium-rare, about 30 minutes. Transfer to platter. Let stand 15 minutes. Cut off strings. Cut tenderloins into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
